i say put a interfooler on and go bumperless. i got a lot of "whoa, why is your radiator so big?" questions when I did, lol.


http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/pts/2919872272.html hrmmm $315 for a painted 03-05 bumper not bad. i bet they would give some credit for your black one.

Im already running 7lbs of boost at 367hp on my 5at so im not sure of boost but tuner says 550 easy on 93. not gonna do e85 just yet as it would require a dual pump and thats quite a bit more money than a aeromotive pump

i thought i saw stock head gaskets - (i'm COMPLETELY new to this motor) and figured high compression bla bla - so i thought low boost or no boost or maybe e85

yeah bigger injectors - not certain you would need dual pump setup - but i'm certain steve would be able to say yes/no -

- but what i forgot to say was congrats on the motor that is definitely awesome

I think steve is throwin down a dyno day on the 14th? is that tomorrow? i think i wanna go if my wife doesn't force me up to mineral wells for family stuff -

Its actually low compression pistons. You must be new to motors. lol Its got hr gaskets. High compression for n/a or and s/c build would be around 11:1. I have 600cc injectors and goin to 1000cc but goin e85 will require a dual pump. I actually know a lil and have already asked steve. I know our cars pretty well and learning the motor as of lately. Ive done 5 single turbo installs and installed my jwt tt.

i didn't read the first line of your picture - not new to motors - not a pro either though - after you said that i reviewed what i overlooked on your build list -

i see its 8 - i missed that and assumed 11:1 or at least 10 or 9.5 - saw what i thought was a stock head gasket part - i don't know if you have an HR motor or a DQ or whatever lol - didn't know head gaskets could be swapped from one to the other either -

I come from an inline 6 world - having two heads is weird lol I've owned a 95 supra for nearly 10 years - just recently switched over to the z -
